Deciding fight

"Pikachu I choose you."

"Pikapika."Pikachu ran up to the field sparking as he glared at Gyarados making Siebold sigh.

"What a bland and overused taste. GYARADOS USE EARTHQUAKE!"

"JUMP!"Pikachu jumped in the air dodging the Earthquake sent by Gyarados slamming his tail on the ground and began to spark more."NOW, USE THUNDERBOLT!"

"DODGE IT!"Gyarados flew out of the way making Pikachu's Thunderbolt go by Siebold instead."NOW USE FLAMETHROWER!"

"QUICK ATTACK TO DODGE!"Gyarados unleashed a flamethrower on the floor making Siebold laugh. But he stopped as Ash did while Pikachu ran out of the Flamethrower glowing white."THUNDER!"

"FLAMETHROWER!"Pikachu unleashed a colossal thunderbolt at Gyarados making him retaliate with Flamethrower making them combine into a yellow and red ball making an explosion covering the arena in smoke.

"VOLT TACKLE AND IRON TAIL!"Siebold gasped seeing Pikachu appear out of the smoke covered in electricity with his tail glowing silver and watched him hit Gyarados hard on the head knocking him out.

"GYARADOS IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! PIKACHU WINS!"

"Return...one of my most powerful Pokemon...what an impressive Pikachu you have there. But meet my next Pokemon: BARBARACLE!"Pikachu smiled seeing Siebold's Barbaracle who glared at him angrily."STONE EDGE!"

"IRON TAIL TO BLOCK!"Pikachu broke the stones being shot at him by Barbaracle with Iron Tail making Ash smirk.

"CROSS CHOP!"

"STOP IT WITH STRENGTH!"Pikachu began to glow and stopped Barbaracle who put his arms in an X and tried to hit him.

"SLASH!"Barbaracle raised an arm and slashed Pikachu sending him sliding back.

"ELECTRO BALL!"

"BREAK IT WITH CROSS CHOP!"Barbaracle ran and stopped the Electro Ball with Cross Chop. Pikachu sparked even more as Barbaracle opened his arms breaking the attack apart making explosions where they hit."STONE EDGE!"

"THUNDERBOLT!"Barbaracle fired stones at Pikachu who at the last second destroyed them with Thunderbolt."VOLT TACKLE!"

"GIGA IMPACT!"Barbaracle and Pikachu ran up to each other with Barbaracle glowing using Giga Impact and Pikachu was using Volt Tackle. Both Pokemon dug their heels into the ground as their heads were smashed together."GIVE IT EVERYTHING!"

"MAX POWER!"Barbaracle took a step forward pushing Pikachu back. But the Electric Mouse lunged forward and pushed Barbaracle farther and even harder."THUNDER!"

"PIIKAACHUUUUUU!"Pikachu roared and unleashed Thunder using all his electricity especially the one from Volt Tackle and sent Barbaracle flying into the wall leaving him stuck there unconscious in a Barbaracle shaped crater.

"Barbaracle!"

"BARBARACLE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! PIKACHU WINS!"

"Return! STARMIE!"Siebold returned Barbaracle and sent out his Starmie while Pikachu struggled to stay up.

"Return Pikachu. SQUIRTLE I CHOOSE YOU!"Squirtle appeared in front of Starmie as Pikachu limped to Persian who lifted him up using his mouth and out him next to Ash."SQUIRTLE SKULL BASH!"

"PSYCHIC!"Squirtle began to squirm in mid air as Starmie's gem began to glow and he was covered in a blue light.

"ICE BEAM!"

"DAZZLING GLEAM!"Squirtle's Ice Beam was destroyed by Starmie glowing brightly. He was then thrown into the air by Starmie doing a flip."NOW RAPID SPIN!"

"YOU USE RAPID SPIN TOO!"Both Pokemon began to spin but Starmie had the upper hand and hit Squirtle into the ceiling."SQUIRTLE!"

"NOW USE THUNDERBOLT!"Starmie's tips were covered in electricity and it unleashed a thunderbolt that looked weaker than Pikachu's at Squirtle who barely withstood the attack but had small sparks of electricity around him."Paralysis, perfect. USE RAPID SPIN!"

"WITHDRAW!"Squirtle tried to retreat into his shell but the paralysis stopped him and he was hit by Starmie's Rapid Spin and was sent flying towards Ash knocked out.

"SQUIRTLE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! STARMIE WINS!"

"I got you."Ash caught Squirtle and returned him to his Pokeball before looking at his last one."Not yet, PERSIAN I CHOOSE YOU!"

"GOT IT!"

"Again with him? Psychic."Persian began to run towards Starmie but was stopped just like Squirtle was...but little did Siebold know that's what Ash and Persian wanted.

"PAYBACK!"Persian fired a purple ball at Starmie making it release him angering Siebold.

"RAPID SPIN!"

"JUMP OVER IT!"Persian jumped over Starmie just in time dodging Rapid Spin and began to run towards it."SHADOW CLAW!"As soon as Starmie stopped using Rapid Spin, Persian pounced him and slashed him with Shadow Claw and jumped off it."DARK PULSE!"Siebold growled seeing Persian charge up Dark Pulse in his mouth and fire it at Starmie sending it on his back.

"THUNDERBOLT!"

"DOUBLE TEAM!"Persian multiplied and made Starmie's Thunderbolt hit a fake one instead."THUNDER!"

"FOR SQUIRTLE!"Persian unleashed a bigger version of Pikachu's Thunder at Starmie surprising everyone especially Ash and Siebold. Just as it looked like Starmie was okay, it fell over with his gem blinking.

"STARMIE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! PERSIAN WINS!"

"Return...I am nothing short of impressed. Your Persian and Pikachu are strong but the score is 3-1 and I will make that score even. I CALL UPON MY STRONGEST POKEMON! I CALL UPON YOU BLASTOISE!"Siebold pulled out his final Pokeball and threw it making a Blastoise wearing a helmet like head band with a Mega Stone on it appear shocking Ash.

"Does everybody but me have a Squirtle?"Paul sighed seeing Blastoise but his attention moved to Gary who was trembling in his seat.

"I've heard about Siebold's Blastoise...its never lost in a battle...it has a high defense and its attacks are even scarier...if I used mine against his...he'd be destroyed in a matter of seconds..."Gary gulped and began to dig his hands into his seat seeing Siebold's Blastoise.

"USE THUNDER!"

"RIGHT!"

"Take the attack."Siebold and his Blastoise closed their eyes as Persian fired Thunder at him and was hit dead on by the attack."Is that all."

"Blast."Blastoise yawned surprising Ash and Persian and flicked a piece of electricity off his shoulder.

"SHADOW CLAW!"

"Power-Up Punch."Persian's attack was stopped by Blastoise grabbing his arm and was punched hard by Blastoise sending him onto the floor.

"That...hurt..."

"PERSIAN!"

"Don't bother, Skull Bash."Persian tried to get up but Blastoise lifted him up and slammed his head on his knocking him out.

"PERSIAN IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! BLASTOISE WINS!"

"Persian are you okay?"

"That hurt."Persian limped over to Ash who immediately hugged him and pulled out his last Pokeball.

"It's okay...I still have one more Pokemon that can handle-"

"PIKA!"Pikachu ran onto the field without Ash telling him to and looked ready to fight Blastoise.

"Pikachu? Fine I guess I can't stop you. THUNDERBOLT!"

"It's a repeated taste. Hydro Pump."Blastoise fired a huge blast of water from his cannons destroying Thunderbolt and hitting Pikachu dead on ending the battle quickly.

"PIKACHU!"

"PIKACHU IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! BLASTOISE WINS!"

"Pikachu? You were still weak from when you were fighting Barbaracle, why?"

"Pika."

"You need to win this."Persian translated for Pikachu making Ash chuckle.

"Alright for you guys, Squirtle, Heracross, and Krookodile. I CHOOSE YOU CHARIZARD!"Ash smiled at his Pokemon before throwing Charizard's Pokeball on the field making it burst open and unleash Charizard who roared making the entire Battle Maison shake. Siebold was surprised while his Blastoise was the opposite and smirked seeing Charizard. The Flame Pokemon looked at Ash to see Persian and Pikachu hurt and turned to face Blastoise who was motioning for him to fight him making him get angrier reacting with his Charizardite Y.

"CHAR!"

"BLAST!"

"The final battle, so make it worth it. HYDRO PUMP!"

"DODGE IT!"Charizard flew up dodging Hydro Pump and flew at Blastoise who smirked and braced himself.

"Impossible..."Siebold gasped seeing Charizard and Blastoise smash their heads together...but the Water type was the one being pushed back from the force.

"FIRE BLAST!"

"HYDRO PUMP!"Both Pokemon stepped back and unleashed their attacks creating an explosion of steam. When it settled both Pokemon weren't injured or tired at all...instead they looked ready to fight until the end of time."I see your Mega Stone and Key Stone! So why don't we kick it up a notch!"

"FINE THEN, CHARIZARD MEGA EVOLVE!"

"BLASTOISE MEGA EVOLVE!"Siebold pressed the Key Stone on the zipper of his coat as Ash pressed his making their Pokemon Mega Evolve. Siebold was surprised seeing Mega Charizard Y as Ash was surprised to see how Blastoise's head changed shape as did his shell with only one cannon but on his arms were smaller shells with a cannon on each.

"That's Mega Blastoise? CHARIZARD USE FIRE BLAST!"

"HYDRO PUMP!"Blastoise fire Hydro Pump from all three of his cannons as Charizard fired Fire Blast. But Siebold was shocked seeing Hydro Pump weakened and destroyed by Fire Blast and Blastoise was sent staggering from the damage.

"HE DID IT!"

"Don't get happy so quickly."

"Why?"

"It's because of Drought, when it wears off...Charizard will lose all that power..."

"Impressive, no one but Diantha has landed that type of hit. POWER-UP PUNCH!"

"DRAGON TAIL!"Charizard flew over Blastoise's attack and hit him with Dragon Tail angering him.

"DRAGON PULSE!"Charizard was too slow to dodge Dragon Pulse sending him in the air making Blastoise smirk."ICE BEAM!"

"FLAMETHROWER!"Charizard unleashed his Flamethrower at Blastoise's Ice Beam destroying it as the brighter light from Drought began to dim.

"Drought's beginning to wear off."

"SOLAR BEAM!"

"WATER GUN!"Blastoise's cannons began to charge up a Water Gun as Charizard charged up Solar Beam in his mouth.

"FIRE!"

"FIRE!"Both Pokemon fired the attacks making the attacks collide and create an explosion as Drought ended angering Ash."It's over Ash. WATERFALL!"

"FLARE BLITZ!"Both Pokemon charged up their attacks as Charizard landed covered in fire as Blastoise was covered in water.

"My final attack."

"Mine too. GO CHARIZARD!"

"BLASTOISE!"

"BLAST!"

"CHAR!"Both Pokemon charged at each other and their attacks collided sending a huge gust of wind sending Ash and Siebold on their backs and everyone else off their seats.

"BREAK THROUGH CHARIZARD!"

"DON'T LET HIM WIN BLASTOISE!"Both Pokemon roared before the force of their attacks combining created an explosion temporarily blinding and deafening everyone. When it settled and vision and hearing were restored, Charizard and Blastoise were back to normal beat up. Both trainers gulped before Charizard fell to his knee making Blastoise smile. But before the referee could call it, he stood back up and Blastoise fell over unconscious instead."No..."

"BLASTOISE IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! CHARIZARD WINS AND THAT MEANS THAT THE NEW WINNER OF THE ELITE FOUR AND CHALLENGER FOR THE POSITION OF CHAMPION IS ASH FROM PALLET TOWN!"
